#TTRPG Are there any hit RPGs that don't default to the classic fantasy races?

#TTRPG Time to start playing 1920's Japanese Super Heroes! - www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/1...
#TTRPG Actual Play youtube shows, should play one-shots and short (5-6 session) adventures. Shows should be no longer than an hour and a half. Any longer campaigns/shows leads to putting off new viewers because the catchup is too long. The game needs to fit the medium.
#TTRPG The stress rachet is ideal for RPG sessions. For instance, a miss-jump, followed by engine failure, followed by imminent collision risk, atmosphere seal failure... pile on the problems through the session. Offer a way out, but its clearly a bad choice.
#TTRPG A new race for you to play in Traveller and Cepheus Engine - legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/5639...
#TTRPG When I ran a Judge Dredd game it used some elements of 1:1 time. The world kept moving, I'd drop daily crime reports...
#TTRPG Character death should NOT be a once per decade event. A TPK should be a risk, or there is NO RISK. A fantasy combat game NEEDS danger in order to have those clutch moments to dread and delight.
#TTRPG I'm pretty sure that "Traveller 5e" will not feel like Traveller at all
#TTRPG Next session you run, Start by saying, "There is an 8% chance of a TPK tonight." It doesn't have to be true
Good tip
#TTRPG Critical Hits that only do extra damage are boring. Roll 1D6, 1: Stunned unable to attack next round, 2: Blinded by blood -2 on all actions for 5 rounds, 3: Knocked prone, 4: Weapon or shield broken, 5: Disarmed, 6: Bind wounds or die in 6 rounds.
#TTRPG In #Traveller you can use the SOC stat for a bunch of things. Reactions, Persuading, Introductions, and even Credit Rating.

Some of them made great additions to my 40k armies.

#TTRPG Does any system roll stats for the Dungeon?
#TTRPG Listening to TLOTR audiobook, really listening, and I hear that the Orcs in the the animated film are much more like the Moria Uruks than in the live action films. And it confirms Orcs use scimitars, which I thought odd in MERP back in the day, but its legit!
#TTRPG Remember MERP? Here's a character generator to save all the silly adding up you normally have to do 😆 - www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

#TTRPG I once played in a 48 hour RPG session, everyone in the group took a turn GMing, everyone doing different games. One of the best moments was in "Aftermath", pissing from above onto an enemy guard's chips, coining the term "piss on his chips" forever more.
#TTRPG Rather than letting the Big-Bad escape through a hidden door when he's about to lose...have him reveal the existence of his boss, before expiring.
#TTRPG What's that noise?
1: Orcs
2: Boars
3: Wizard and two guards
4: Hob Goblins
5: Cultists
6: Badly injured dragon
#TTRPG When the DM wants a recap of the last session reply with: "WTF? Am I at school, am I doing a book report? F that shite, lets hunt some orc!"
Ahhh, but were they employing SOC, Brawling, or Carousing?
Here's my #TTRPG games. It's just me designing, writing, editing and art directing; I do it because I'm passionate about the #rpg hobby and I love to share that passion.
My short D12 titles are PWYW, so head on over and get a rules-light fast action bargain.

I bet you did manage to pick up a smattering of German though.
#TTRPG Remember that to most villagers in a fantasy world, "democracy" sounds worse than crazy.

#TTRPG After reading "The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant" I was inspired to create a new race of Giants for players to play as characters - www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...
One suitable for a boarding action?
